burning in france, spain, in portugal, italy, and in greece. for a week, wild fires have raged across southern europe. several fire fighters have died in the line of duty, and thousands of residents have had to flee their homes. it is an especially difficult summer. we are dealing with very considerable drought you to insufficient rainfall over the winter spring and especially dry months of may. and we now have particularly high temperatures. but there's another related threat sweeping the region. a heat wave that has already claimed hundreds of lives. temperatures have reached the mid forties for a week in some parts of southern europe and weather experts say it's moving north

indeed, we know that at luton airport, north of london, they've, in fact, closed the rum way because it is so hot and they need to do some repairs there as well. we understand that today is the hottest day in wales in the country of wales ever on records. his records began about a 150 years ago that it's 35.3 degrees celsius in flinch up in north wales. right. so we're talking about these record breaking temperatures affecting a normally temperate country, like the u. k, which is just not use and this is it, it's melting runways and what not then effect infrastructure yet is indeed and the governance of vice is that they should the people should not travel unless it is absolutely necessary. simply the trains, the buses, the transport infrastructure, but also people's homes and the buildings here in britain,

on accustomed and not been built to withstand this kind of temperature. these kind of heat that we're going to see for 48 hour period is what the prediction of the met office, which is the, the weather, sort of scientific organization here in, in britain. that's what they're saying that simply people need to try and ease the pressure on those systems and also the health system. because they're worried that for a lot of more vulnerable people, especially the elderly, that there could be real issues to do with this heat as well. bearing in mind, people who just don't have ac on in their homes, like in other parts of europe where it does reach these temperatures more frequently. right. so it does sound like some relief is insight but it doesn't need. yeah, like i said, it's a 48 hour period. they predict that on wednesday, that will be about a 10 degrees celsius drop off from $3637.00, which is the temperature as we've been seen throughout the day, even up as far as 40 degrees celsius. but they say that on wednesday i'll go down to somewhere near $26.00 degrees, which is a much more normal,

is sort of temperature for, for this, for this part of the world at this time of year. phil, thank you for that, jack. jack parker, the hombre. air show in the south, england will europe's heat wave is bringing added urgency to climate talks. here in berlin. un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, is urging rich countries to keep their promises to help poor nations deal with global warming. german foreign minister, angelina barbara, greeting her egyptian counterpart, some issue. korean berlin, germany in egypt, i call hosting a 2 day climate conference in preparation for the un climate summit in egypt. this november, speaking ahead of the conference burbock set, countries need to redouble their efforts to hit climate targets. dick lea maquida mats and the climate crisis does not stop at any border. and the climate crisis is now the biggest security threat to all people on this earth. this being

the adams here. so we will only be able to tackle it together. he came back his them up because the climate crisis does not stop at any border. the response to it must not either. we must intensify our joint efforts. intensive young officials from 40 countries gathered for the summit to disgusting, focused on fighting the increasing impact of climate change. addressing the conference in a video message, united nations secretary general antonio gutierrez, urged rich nations to keep their pledges to supply funds to countries hardest hit by the climate crisis. excellencies. this has to be the 2nd of decisive climate action. that means trust multilateralism and collaboration. we have a choice, collective action on collective suicide. it is in our hands, hope so high that the conference will lay the groundwork for a successful un climate conference in egypt as fall rushes monopoly energy supply

gas prom says it may not be able to guarantee gas suppliers to parts of europe. the reuters news agencies reporting that the state controlled energy giant bait the declaration earlier this month. gas from says it may be unable to fulfill its supply obligations to the north stream one pipeline. as of what it said were extraordinary circumstances. the companies already reduced deliveries to germany, germany, politicians have dismissed russian explanations as a political gambit will be kyle critical, this an oil and gas industry, unless the consultant asked for his assessment of gas prompts declaration. when i'm trying to analyze that, there are reasons for this announcement by a gas pro. i see there are no technical, no commercial, and no transportation problems of this company is the pipelines do exist just from can use north 3 in the pipeline across bill,

a roofs and all of them in the fireplace, across the ukraine to deliver as much gas as your needs because of the reserves of gas in russia are quite satisfactory inside stores will to satisfy all the consumers in europe. and when i hear that guest room is referring to some well force missouri circumstances, i think the only reason might be orders for president borton. and this is a declaration of war, a guess war which wave. and so this flight goes up, we may not be able to do this, they haven't said we won't, they've said we may not be able to. this is a threats. this is a way of try to coerce europe into, into rethinking its position. what, which way do you think it will actually go? i think the russian government and the russian president are going to, oh, well,

to see the results of their black, male or brand. sure. or whatever you call it on your, on the european union. and then decide whether it's worse doing to stop all gas flows across the pipelines that go into europe, or maybe a resume, some of the contract, so that the r a will long term contract. so to keep some of the consumers in europe satisfied. and i think it will take them maybe a week, maybe 5 days to come to a final decision. right? because these things can cut both ways. county, i, you talked about russia having lots of a gas reserves at the moment. that's money sitting there. can't sell. and how, how deeply would it feel the financial and impact of losing of not

supplying some of its biggest customers in europe, countries like germany and austria. well, the european, the market of guess is the gas pros, only a large market right now. and the here for no gas goes to the european union for us, so them guess from will lose. it's are old as a gas exporter, almost whole it, because it is not possible to replace these marketing issues in europe with something in asia or elsewhere. is there is just one. yes, pipeline that goes into china and last year it transported only 10000000 cubic meters of gas. while europe consumed 155000000000 cubic meters over us and gas loss in this market didn't issue would mean a disaster for rushes. main. i guess monopoly and the disaster for the

russian economy as well. right? we'll see who blinks 1st and become a critical and oil and gas analysts. thank you so much. thank you. is look at civil stories making headlines around the world. european union has signed a deal to double natural gas in portrait as a by john as the block steps up. efforts to find non russian energy supplies, rushes opponents. a moscow is increasingly using natural gas, the weapon against the you in response to a you, sanctions gun has confirmed its 1st case of the highly infectious marburg. virus 2 people have died after becoming infected doesn't are in quarantine. there's no treatment for martha, which is part of the same virus family as a boa. lation, of course, is a seized elephant trunks, rhino horns and other animal parts where the, the $18000000.00 euros, the contraband was on the ship coming from africa. some people believe the animal
